Ultra wideband wireless communications are taking the iPod's video capability full circle, making it possible to store TV shows on an iPod, then play them back on a TV. Taiwan-based Chanceux Co. uses UWB to send iPod video files to a connected TV or PC. Its VID-1200 SmartDock iPod docking station links iPods to the home network, offering full remote control for audio and video while recharging the battery. The docking station is based on Focus Enhancements' FS453 TV-out encoder chip, as well as Freescale's MXL processor and infrared remote controller. UWB goes through walls, so iPod files can be sent to various TVs or other connected units in the home.
A next-generation guided ammunition system for intercepting enemy fire that Lockheed Martin is developing for the Army has hit its targets in an initial series of tests by the company.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
